Fright Nights Returns to the South Florida Fairgrounds This October

Fright Nights, South Florida's premiere haunted attraction, is back at the South Florida Fairgrounds in West Palm Beach for the 2026 Halloween season — and it is not for the faint of heart.

This year's scream park features three brand-new haunted houses, two scare zones, carnival rides, games, food, and live entertainment including local bands, dancers, and a DJ. The event has been named a "Top Haunted Attraction" by the Haunted Attraction Association year after year, and organizers promise all-new scares every season.
